A third impeachment of President Donald Trump appears inevitable as pollsters are predicting very bad results for Republicans in the 2026 midterms. Democrats are all but certain to take back the House of Representatives, raising the question: What will they impeach Trump for this time? And what happens if the GOP loses the U.S. Senate?

As reported by The Hill:

As the final primaries wrap up and we head into the full gale of the general election campaign season, the consensus is that Republicans are all but certain to lose their very narrow House majority.

If you ask Nate Silver and his team, they’ll say there’s an 86 percent chance of Democratic control with the highest probability of a 15-seat majority for the blue team. The gang at Decision Desk HQ sees a slightly closer contest, forecasting a 66 percent probability that Democrats take over, with the fat part of their bell curve right around a 12-seat Democratic majority.

But nobody seems to think that what amounts to a two-seat current majority for House Republicans will survive whatever is brewing up for this fall.

That’s a real bummer for Republicans, given that the GOP spent all that money and effort on their mid-decade gerrymandering blitz only to see it become their Maginot Line. If you look at the current ratings from the Cook Political Report with Amy Walter or Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia, you see that the GOP is only netting out three or four sure gerrymandered pickups — nowhere near enough to save them. . . .

How big a prospective Democratic House majority may be certainly matters, most of all to Jeffries. He’s going to be getting at least a half dozen more members of the “squad” or the Justice Democrats, or whatever you like to call the blue version of the Tea Party. They will be intent on making it as hard as possible for the would-be Speaker to get anything done. But if Democrats have a great year instead of just a good one, the extra seats will come from Republican-leaning swing districts likely to produce pragmatic new representatives.

But whether Jeffries is under siege from the start or has a 12-seat cushion to protect him from extortionate demands, there’s one thing that won’t be avoided: a third impeachment of Donald Trump.

If the far Left wins the House this November, you would think that their first order of business would be introducing an affordability package. Or working on a new energy policy to increase domestic production. How about addressing the housing crisis or health care costs?

Instead, it sounds like their top priority will once again be impeaching the President of the United States. Something we’ve already watched them waste years on in the past.

When impeachment becomes less about an extraordinary remedy for extraordinary circumstances and more about a political tool, you inevitably lower the bar for its use. And you risk creating a never-ending cycle. What prevents impeachment from becoming a routine feature of every Administration whenever the opposing party gains control of the House?

Even if the far Left were to also take the Senate – which seems less likely – they would not have the votes necessary to remove President Trump from office. Conviction and removal require a two-thirds vote in the Senate. Which would then, once again, make impeachment little more than a political exercise that consumes enormous amounts of time, money, and political oxygen, while accomplishing very little for the American people.

If you control the House, you have an opportunity to legislate. You have an opportunity to negotiate. You have an opportunity to find common ground with an Administration from the other party and get things done. Impeachment proceedings only stand in the way of any bipartisan progress.

Midterm elections have a way of punishing the party in power when American voters become frustrated. And conservatives haven’t exactly made a compelling case for themselves in the House over the past couple of years. We’ve seen plenty of internal conflict and political chaos.

But if the far Left interprets that frustration as a mandate to simply repeat the impeachment battles of the past, they will accomplish nothing but waste more time and taxpayer resources.

The far Left will have spent months targeting a President who was elected by the American people, only to send an impeachment to a Senate where removal is extraordinarily unlikely. Washington will become even more gridlocked, taxpayers will foot the bill, and the issues of affordability, housing, health care, inflation, etc., will still be there, untouched, and unsolved.

If the far Left believes that yet another impeachment fight is more important than addressing the real issues affecting all Americans, they’d better have a good explanation as to why, because once we enter 2027, political attention will quickly begin turning toward 2028. And this futile impeachment plan could very well backfire.

Today’s Sekulow broadcast included more analysis of these reports predicting yet another impeachment if the far Left gains control of the House of Representatives.
